Once again Ill post up some bud porn because it's relevant to this thread...or something like that. Payment was sent in for the Gauva Dawgs and Star Dawgs so we should have some new strains to play with soon ShrubsFirst pics are Ogers, CSD's , then Glass Slippers. I cannot wait til I getta see those big ass Chem colas at the warehouse bro!
Lawl, ever get that Co2 tank moved into place or will she be planted til the delivery dude rolls back with another?
Tank is stayin where it's at til we get the refill. No way to move that thing more than a few inches without a solid dolly

Yea I wouldnt doubt it, thing looked quite heavy lol. Curious to see how long she lasts in there, I bet it will be a little while anyway.

Thank you viv. Hows that 2400 Watt room comin? You get that last one turned on yet?
Update:
Clones in their last night of being in the dome.
Grabbed the C.A.P. Fuzzy Logic PPM-2A The most advanced on the market.

In my history of cloning, roughly 80-90%. I have used a knock-off aero cloner, the white botanicare.
Worked decent.
I really just like cloning straight in to coco.
As of lately i have been receiving clones from Jesus' nursery. He has quite
the list of genetics. I'll haven my own breeding facility shortly though.

Oooh man i wanna see some pics of that!! The gardens coming along man. I made the noob mistake of too many in too small an area other than that everything is looking pretty nice considering its my first ride on the pony.

Shrubs, if you dont mind can you give me a quick run down on how you clone in Coco? I want to know your method in particular from start to finish, how many days you leave them domed and so forth. I'm just starting to use Coco so I'm looking for some Coco expert advice.

Keep in mind, I take 144 clones at a time, and fill up my cloning trays completely in order to keep my
humidity at a maximum.
Take cuttings with a sharp blade to reduce injury to the parent plant. I have a titanium nitride scalpel.
Dip the cutting tool in rubbing alcohol or a mixture of one part bleach : nine parts water to prevent
transmitting diseases from infected plant parts to healthy ones. Remove flowers and flower buds from
cuttings to allow the cutting to use its energy and stored carbohydrates for root and shoot formation
rather than fruit and seed production. To increase the number of roots and insure uniform rooting use
a rooting hormone. Preferably one with a fungicide. To prevent possible contamination of the entire
supply of rooting hormone place some in a separate container for dipping cuttings.
I then fill the individual spaces in the rooting tray in with coco. Not too packed, not too lose. Much of
this takes practice. Fertilize the coco before the cuttings go in. I add to my water:
Per Gallon
V
2 mL coco A
2 mL coco B
5 mL Rhizotonic
2 mL Mayan Microzyme
1 mL H202
EC: .4 - .5 pH 5.9-6.0
I apply this solution to the Coco.
Insert the plant cuttings in to the Coco, place the dome on the clones, place on
my heating mat set for 80 degrees F under my 4 bulb T5. Don't touch it for a week.
I mean as little as possible. Every time the clone tray is bumped or moved the
process is disrupted. It is a very delicate chemical and physiological process. I
don't even spray the clones, anything on the leaves during this process is phytotoxic
and spraying disrupts the process.
The saturation of the coco keeps the humidity up and the dome keeps it trapped. If
you're worried about algae or fungi, add a little extra H2O2, but 1 mL of the 29% H2O2
keeps algae and fungi at bay for me no problem. Leave the dome on sealed for 6 days.
On day 7, open up the vents and allow for air exchange, the plants will begin acclimating to
lower humidity and temp. I also turn the heat mat off. On day 8, taking the dome off the plants
shouldn't be too stressful as they should be quite acclimated to the new environment, its time to
pot! I now pot in to 1 gallon smart pots.

Hey Shrubs.. Got a few questions for ya.
1. What makes the PPM2 the most advanced co2 controller?
2. What is the best (most efficient) commercial strand you've grown in your opinion? (taking into consideration quality, weight, flowering time etc) Why?
3. You really never have problem with salt buildup?

1. The PPM-2a is designed unlike most other co2 meters in that, it controls both generators
and tanks. It is able to keep CO2 ppm within 25ppm of the desired setting by use of its
"Fuzzy Logic" tech. Instead of blasting CO2 until the meter reads the desired setting it begins
putting on the breaks and slowly flatlines on to your setting. Rather than fluctuating rapidly,
other CO2 meters fluctuate by as much as 20%. Consistency in environment is key.
2. So far the Chem Sour Diesel has been my most productive as well as quality, not
only did i smash my yield records with it, i was awarded Bud of the Month by a local
magazine.
3. Not true, my home grow is having TDS issues and i have had them in the past. Anybody
growing hydroponically is bound to have TDS issues.

Tons of work last night. The place is really coming together. Also, I grabbed an iPad
yesterday and it is going to be my warehouse companion. All my notes and info will
stored using this bad boy. I didn't think I would like it as much as I do!

What apps are you using for taking notes, etc, on your ipad? Have you used herb.iq for the PC? They are adding a web utility so you will be able to access it from your ipad soon. I will be able to just take the ipad downstairs and update my herb.iq instead of making paper notes first.

I'm a Mac. We use MJFreeway for our POS system. It tracks inventory and plant count, as well as
sales.
I have a laboratory notebook for actual note taking. I like pen and paper.
